A decorative display serif built from strong, high-contrast forms with a carved inline that splits many strokes into bold black lobes and thin white channels. Letter construction leans geometric—rounds are close to circular and verticals are dominant—while terminals and joins are sharpened into tapered, wedge-like points in places (notably in diagonals and the ends of S, J, and Z). The rhythm alternates between hefty black masses and delicate internal cut lines, producing a crisp, poster-like texture. Uppercase feels stately and compact in its counters, while the lowercase maintains a tall x-height with simplified bowls and occasional calligraphic flicks; numerals echo the same inline carving and dramatic contrast.
Best used at headline and display sizes where the carved inline and extreme contrast remain clear. It suits posters, mastheads, fashion and nightlife branding, packaging, and short editorial titles that benefit from a decorative, vintage-leaning presence.
The overall tone reads luxe and stage-ready, evoking early 20th‑century glamour and marquee lettering. Its bold black shapes paired with precise internal inlines create a polished, dramatic voice that feels suited to stylized branding and statement typography rather than quiet text work.
This font appears designed to deliver maximum impact through sculpted, high-contrast letterforms and an integrated inline that suggests engraving or neon-tube spacing. The intent is a stylish, era-referential display face that turns simple words into graphic shapes.
The inline treatment is not uniform across every stroke, which adds a lively, hand-carved feel and emphasizes key verticals and curves. Diagonals (V/W/X/Y) and pointed joins contribute a slightly aggressive sparkle, while the rounded letters (O/C/G/Q) present strong, emblematic silhouettes.
